EdWeek Union

We are thrilled to announce that @educationweek employees have voted YES to unionize! We look forward to starting the collective bargaining process to make sure that all of EdWeek's hardworking employees have the protections and policies we deserve.

🚨New nonprofit media union contract just dropped :) wbng.org/2026/02/03/edu…

The @EdWeekUnion voted overwhelmingly to ratify their first contract! For the first time, EdWeek is establishing a minimum annual salary & and all members will receive general 3% wage increases each December. Congratulations to the EdWeek Union members! wbng.org/2026/02/03/edu…

Just last year, EdWeek spent nearly DOUBLE our requested salary increase on legal fees. Their lawyer once chastised us for asking for this raise just so we could “buy horses.” Our lowest paid employee makes less than $45,000. We don’t want horses. We NEED groceries.

EdWeek management has repeatedly said our salaries reflect our humble nonprofit status. But CEOs at our closest nonprofit competitors earn $250-$300K, while ours annually takes home more than half a million dollars. Why does scarcity logic only apply to our lowest-paid workers?

Hi! We’re the EdWeek Union - roughly 50 people who work tirelessly to make our nonprofit news organization a key destination for educators and the general public. We wanted to share an update on our efforts to bargain with management for a fair contract. 🧵

Thanks to our bargaining team (and @WBNG32035 reps) for a solid first session! They are committed to bringing our members' voices to the table as they advocate to make EdWeek an even more equitable place to work.

Our first bargaining session is today! We are excited at the prospect of productive and collaborative conversations as we work to establish our first contract. 💙

Congratulations to @EdWeekUnion for winning their union election to join @NewsGuild @WBNG32035! We're so excited to have them officially in the CWA family.

Major congrats to @EdWeekUnion !!! They won their union election! newsguild.org/education-week…

Today, EdWeek employees begin casting their votes on whether they want to form a union. We are confident that we will win with a strong majority and are excited about what’s to come! 💙✊

Thanks to the @thegrade_ for the mention! kappanonline.org/russo-bright-s…
